innumerous calls for reform in engineering education[1-3]. Regardless of the chosen response tosuch calls, it is clear that quality education requires the presence of instructors who have learnedto teach effectively. Unfortunately, because we often rely on “on-the-job” training, facultybecome skilled at teaching after receiving their doctoral degrees and “practicing” on students.For this reason, institutions commonly establish teaching effectiveness centers dedicated tofaculty development. Moreover, and of greater concern to us, much undergraduate teaching,especially during laboratories which may constitute 50% or more of the time that students are inthe classroom, is performed by Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) who may receive notraining in

and promote innovative thinking from students. The lecture-based format of teaching which predominates in engineering education may not be the most effective manner to achieve these goals [1,2]. Constructivist learning theory asserts that knowledge is not simply transmitted from teacher to student, but is actively constructed by the mind of the learner through experiences. [3,4]. Students learn best with hands-on projects with practical purpose [5]. Laboratory based projects are the best vehicle for demonstrating many aspects of engineering problem solving situations. However, in most cases, laboratory environments are set up as “exercises” which have very clear, predetermined outcomes. This is done to reinforce lecture material that is

EMTP simulations can be performed on personal computers, which are available tostudents and are an integral part of practicing engineer's equipment.Several large utilities have built relay testing laboratories that subject commercial relays totransient waveforms [1,2,3]. Laboratory testing is accurate and complete, but the costs of theselaboratories are high.

Problems and solutions in the first 2 years of teaching the subjectDuring the year (1994-95) when the subject was taught for the first time, it was found out that,almost right from the beginning, the subject was difficult for most of the students judging fromtheir performance in laboratory, tutorial and lecture classes.
